I placed an order with Estervals on Thursday late afternoon, and the package arrived here in SE Pennsylvania this morning at 10:30. Amazing. As always, everything was packed exceptionally well. The invoice/custom papers, as well as the box itself were unopened. Everything arrived intact.

Both times I ordered from them, I received it in the same time frame. They run things well there (when they don't mess with order quantities and all that)

are they still doing the minimum bulk order thing? Example: you have to order 10 tins of HU Direktors cut

Not as of my last order. They modified that and now I read it is a $ minimum you need to meet. I know they tried the minimums for a quick minute, but a lot of people complained.

I never encountered that, and I've been ordering from them for years.
But I tend to order maybe once or twice a year, and place a sizeable order.

This happened in August of this year. If you put 1 tin of HU Director's Cut into your cart, it would up the number to 10 stating that was the minimum quantity required for an order. Some were ridiculous (Salty Dogs, if I recall correctly)

I hadn't ordered since January, so I missed that debacle.
I haven't ordered since then, so it might be something completely different and equally ridiculous. However, I believe I would have seen something on reddit if that were the case.

One thing I tested while they had the minimums was their data input validation and it would appear they have none. I did not execute anything against that, but if I were a little more morally flexible, I would have avoided the minimums altogether.

Love their shipping and service in general, more than happy to pay a couple bucks extra, nothing wrong with supporting the little guys specially when they have that level of service.

I'm not so sure how small Estervals really is. But their service has any and all US etailers beat!
